DC clearly has a list of plan B's that he feels confident about if Plan A does not work out. We lost one QB, and he offers another one very soon after. We lose out on a TE, and he offers another one very soon after. Coach also does not have an issue going after players that have previously committed to other team. There are plenty of other TE's who have not committed, but Coach seems to have a specific idea in mind, Strange is 6'5 210', and Ford is 6'5 205'.
While some people are saying stars don't matter or that it is in inexact science, I would still prefer Wake get more 5 stars than 2 stars, however this is Wake Forest, and finding those players who are the right fit, and those who can grow into roles is more what the staff is going for than highest rated. I have been clamoring for a big TE, and Ford seems to fit the bill. While every 2 star recruit will not turn into Mack or Dortch, Clawson clearly knows what he likes and goes for it rather than basing offers on ratings or other offers.
Now if the staff is reading this, please find a DT who can grow into a 300 pounder.
